Mokwena reunion adds edge to Sundowns' trip to Algeria
The Star
|November 25, 2025
MAMELODI Sundowns will face an early examination of their CAF Champions League ambitions when they travel to Algeria for a tough away clash against MC Alger on Friday.
It is arguably their most demanding fixture in the group stage, made even more intriguing by the prospect of reuniting with former coach Rulani Mokwena, who now leads the Algerian side and will be plotting against the team he once guided to major continental success.
Mokwena played a central role in Sundowns' recent rise, including steering the club to the inaugural African Football League title with a commanding 4-1 victory over Wydad Casablanca towards the end of 2023.
His presence on the opposite touchline adds an emotional subplot to a match already carrying significant weight for the visitors.
The 38-year-old coach guided Sundowns to the Champions League semifinals in his final season at the club, where they were knocked out by Miguel Cardoso - now the head coach - who was then in charge of Esperance de Tunis.
